We got a new toy: 3D printer to print custom labware/adaptors to be used in our Opentrons OT2

please RT: We are again/still looking for a #postdocposition with experience in #protein purification / #xtal / #biophysics and interest in computer aided biomolecular design (protein and or drugs). PM for more info. KU Leuven

Very happy to receive our new Cytiva AKTA Avant FPLC, ready for more protein production for strucdtural biology of novel drug targets and computational designer proteins. Thanks to FWO for the funding.

a new academic year, a new lab picture: wellcome to all new members. Let's make it an interesting year with great new findings. KU Leuven Fac Wetenschappen KULeuvenChemie

Congrats to Ahmed Shemy for obtaining an FWO PhD fellowship for the structure guided development of PET tracers for Multiple Sclerosis in collaboration with Niels Hellings

please RT: we are looking for a postdoc experience with protein purification, protein kinases and/or structural biology up to 3 years funded fellowship to work on a project dealing with isoform specific allosteric inhibition. contact me for more details. #postdocjobs

please RT: we are urgently looking for a #PhDstudent organic chemistry to combine structure based computer aided drug design with automated synthesis for novel cancer drug targets. PM for more info. up to 4 years funding KULeuvenChemie #phdpositions

Our latest research is out now: a new strategy for the treatment of resistant prostate cancer by inhibiting the dimerization of the androgen receptor. congrats to all collaborators Molendo KULeuvenChemie aacrjournals.org/mct/article-ab…

A new type of AR inhibitors that act via disrupting LBD dimerization, now published in Mol Cancer Ther. doi.org/10.1158/1535-7… We enjoyed collaborating with Laboratory of biomolecular modelling and design and MolDesignS Lab. Congratulations to all co-authors!

Exciting new research from Arnout Voet, Frank Claessens and Christine Helsen Laboratory of biomolecular modelling and design Molendo on a possible new treatment method for metastatic #prostatecancer was published today in @MVR_AACR More information and links to the full article 👇 bit.ly/3elaOsR

Writing a great abstract can be tricky! This writing template by nature is super helpful 👉

Warm congratulations to PhD student Ahmed Shemy Laboratory of biomolecular modelling and design on winning the IUCr Journals Poster Prize at the 10th Diamond Light Source ccp4_mx Data Collection and Structure Solution Workshop, shown receiving his certificate and prize from lecturer and Structural Biology Editor Elspeth Garman

In our latest paper we engineered a nuclear receptor ligand specificity to create a new synbio tool. Congrats to all authors. Thanks for the great collaboration with Molendo Kevin Verstrepen lab doi.org/10.1002/pro.49… Fac Wetenschappen KULeuvenChemie

Happy to share my recently published paper. “Structural mechanism underlying variations in DNA binding by the androgen receptor”. Congratulations to all the co-authors ! Enjoy reading :) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38604378/ Molendo Laboratory of biomolecular modelling and design

protein layers as far as the #AFN eye can see (+5um) : Great work of one of our PhD students working on development of functional #biomaterials through computational protein design and #AFM. Stay tuned for more Fac Wetenschappen KULeuvenChemie

Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? Google DeepMind

We are very gratefull to the FWO for awarding PhD fellowships to our researchers Ben Sanchez (development of novel cancer therapeutics) and Robin Poelmans (AI methods of drug and protein design) as well as Hanne Willems (Prostate cancer) together with Molendo.
